What kind of coilover should I get now? I have a 98 itr with the first generation Apex WS. I am wanting to get something semi-aggressive yet daily drivable. I've seen some good write ups on PIC performance and the usual Tein set up. lmk what you guys are running and what your guys would recommend. Thanks

 

Stock ITR shocks and springs.

 

tein mono flex... Ive daily-ed this setup for over a year in Chicago weather and roads.... still amazing

 

I'm on JIC Magics, but I will be switching to PIC's The JIC's are fine but they aren't aggressive enough since they are 10k front 7k back

 

All depends on the cars purpose. If you road race/auto x then N1's, PIC is the way to go. If you just want to get low then just do a ground control/koni yellow build.

 

Omni Power is what im getting if/when i get rid of the Apexi N1 99 Specs.

PS. there are probably 3098758 topics on this if you search. Youll find reviews and thoughts there.

thanks guys, i'm leaning toward the PIC's

 

Another vote for PIC's here... I run them on both cars.

Also an AD for them if your looking to purchase a set.

Thinking the same thing.
I've driven in my buddies dc2 and he has the 12k/10k and its too much for me on the street. Leaning toward the 10k/8k setup.

I find it strange because I thought my old 12k/10k omni setup was alright for daily use....I guess not all spring rates are the same...?

Technically, GC/koni yellows can be customized for road race/auto x.

You can get Ground Control (Eibach) springs in any spring rate you want.
Stock Koni Yellows work with springs up to 500 lbs/in (about 9k kg/mm) and if you want anything higher than that Koni can revalve them for you.

 

I just upgraded from the PIC P3's to the R3's. So yeah, get PIC's.

You can go up to 600lbs on stock valved Konis.

Cant argue that.

 

ive got PIC's and i like em. they were pretty cheap compared to everything else on the market. I have the 12/10 setup and it is a little much on the road, i would probably go with something a little softer

Then get smoother streets
But 12/14 PIC for me everyday and Zero complaints.

R3s are outstanding. I love mine and Andy, Walker, and Bbasso all agree.

 

Im running KW suspension V2s, they handle great, not too stiff, very durable/resistant and they will last a lifetime w/warranty
